I switched from a Norwegian keyboard to a UK keyboard with intl. English map on my MacBook. Default keyboard shortcuts suddenly made so much more sense - and I can code without having to use my nose when I run out of fingers for modifier keys. ()[]{}\|/:;' are all available using at most a single modifier (many of them without). Scandinavian characters are available using a single modifier for when I don't code, ex alt-a for å. Definitive productivity boost for me.
